My numbers talk to each others
December 21, 2019Since I was little, I have known I see some of my "memory placeholders" clearer than others do.
My numbers have always talked to each others' - and it is quite hard to do multiplication with numbers, when 8 and 3 have so different personalities than 4 and 6 - all of them got super confused when both multiplications reached 24. My 20s and 30s of the number line were quite outraged for a little while after this fact got out. (My number line is a stack, however, each number has a perch, and they sit there and spend time with each other). I still have my 26 and 28 constantly arguing "who is bigger in here".
Try to do math with this :D
Things like "mass keeps in constant movement until a force acts on it", have always been particularly hard for me - as in my world nothing stays quite constant.
But for chemistry it fits like a glove !
There is absolutely no reason why 12 cannot be bigger than 16 in chemistry,
and each extra electron and proton changes the elements and molecules in surprising manners - consistent with my numbers which are "alive", rather than "normal numbers" which are equidistant, and don't do much of anything.
When I was eight, it really hit me, that everyone didn't see the same things I did.
Our class was given the opportunity to take the test for training program meant for musically talented children.
There was a clapping test, where extra parts would be added to the end of the sequence, once the participant had flawlessly repeated the previous part back to the examinor.
After the test, I was discussing with my friends, how far did we get in the test.
I was about to say ( or maybe I even said that out loud ) - that I got confused in the "countryside barn" part of the pattern, even though in "previous repetitions of the sequence I had gotten much farther than that". The Countryside Barn part of the pattern ??? But yet, there it was. I later learned that the name of that rhythm was "triole", however, a Countryside Barn was what I saw.
Nowadays, my coding is full of creatures, too.
All subroutines are rooms, naturally, stacked into the labyrinthian design of the whole code, and the creatures of the room come to view, once I look more closely.
My if clauses are crocodiles, opening their mouth, to show what the exact condition is.
When I look at the condition in it - if it is a 1, then it is a man with a large soft ball. If it is a zero, then it is a fluffy seal.
The lists and arrays are like flying carpets, transporting a lot of information from place to place.
If they need to be coded manually, though ( indexing matters somehow ), they become integrated circuits - as their legs can get tangled and cause short-circuinging the whole thing.
NaN's are pink gooey mess, and sometimes they even smile at me ( you have to befriend your NaN's - isn't that true? )
The harder the task is, the more the visuals kind of "creep into my conscious",
and I will be able to actually see them and interact with them.
I assume they are there all the time, however.
The way I would play the hard "part C" of the theme song of Piano the movie :
First you have the muddy grassland, you proceed to the field of bluebells, but then you have to be careful to let the man pass the woman the stack of plates first, otherwise the cow cannot land on the sky and smile meekly.
And yet - all this results in good quality code.
I guess there are many ways to attain those straight A's, right ?
